Don't let humidity and temperature extremes ruin your belongings! Safeguard the climate-sensitive parts of your home with this elegant, Decorator-style temperature and humidity sensor. Perfect for wine cellars, basements, attics or greenhouses! This clean-looking sensor mounts in any room and sends ambient temperature and humidity readings to any home control interface with analog inputs, like the Stargate, TimeCommander Plus, HomeVision and LynX-10 systems.

If the sensor detects a temperature above a pre-determined level, you can program the controller to close the motorized drapes, turn a ceiling fan on, or, if necessary, crank-up the air. If your home is equipped with electronic duct dampers and motion sensors, you can even direct the air conditioner to cool only occupied rooms. These sensors not only make your home more energy efficient, they also save money on your electric bill!

To install, just connect a regulated power supply voltage between +5-30VDC to the screw-down terminals in the rear. Once powered, the unit produces a linearly scaled analog signal proportional to the temperature it detects. Signals can be sent across up to 1,000 feet of cable to the analog input of a compatible controller. For optimum results, use 4-conductor, shielded cable, home run between each sensor and the controller. Two conductors each will be used for the humidity and temperature detectors. The shield will be a common ground for both circuits.
